:41:03
The people rest.
:41:08
This boy is on trial
for the act of murder,
:41:12
not for the thought of murder.
:41:14
Between the idea and deed
there's a difference.
:41:18
If you find this boy guilty in desire
but not guilty in deed...
:41:24
...then he must walk out of this
courtroom as free as you or I.
:41:30
However, since the prosecutor lacked
evidence, he's given you prejudice.
:41:38
Lacking facts,
he's given you fantasy.
:41:41
Of all the witnesses before you,
:41:44
not one actually saw what happened.
:41:49
I will now call to the stand
an eyewitness, the only eyewitness.
:41:55
The only one who knows the truth,
the whole truth.
:42:03
George Eastman,
please take the stand.
:42:09
When we got to the lake, I suggested
we go rowing before it got dark.
:42:16
Tell me, why did you give
a false name to the boat keeper?
:42:21
We were going to stay at the lodge,
and we weren't married,
:42:25
so I thought it better
not to give our real names.
:42:30
Why did you engage the boat
to row the girl out onto the lake?
:42:41
In the back of my mind
was the thought of drowning her.
:42:47
But I didn't want to think
such things!
:42:52
I couldn't help myself, I couldn't!
